Comment:

A love of irony isn't the only reason the Bens — Kweller, Lee, and Folds, a trio formed on a first-name basis — works so well. At the end of the day, each artist is an indie rock icon in his own right, sharing a similar grasp of immediate, hooks-heavy songwriting and never taking himself too seriously. Take Lee, for instance: "What Would Jay-Z Do?" sounds like a college rock chart-topper from the early '90s and seems to honestly wonder how the bling-coated rap star would handle different situations; "Dirty Mind" dabbles in sexcapade lyrics and distorted drum loops (courtesy of ex-Gorillaz collaborator Dan the Automator); and "Float On" reimagines the bubbly Modest Mouse hit as a lazy Sunday lament.
